Brain Fart, Need Chrome Amps

So, the new JL Audio chrome amps (in specific the 450/4) are all backordered for 8 weeks minimum. My customer wants chrome ideally, (say Audiobahn and I'll lump ya!), Xtant is a nogo as well as we blew up 4 of them due to excessive amounts of bass from two 12's. This system will have Focal quad coil 18's. So, what other options do we have available? I'm open to taking apart the amps and chrome plating them if we cannot find something.....Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Aren't some US Amps chrome plated?  They sem to have a pretty good rep.Support the12volt.com

I'm in pretty good with Hal Moulton, VP of sales down at JL. Do you want me to try to call in a favor and see if I can find some? What's your time frame?There is no such thing as free installation!

Time frame, yesterday. Now I am not trying to circumvent my Canadian distributor in any way. I intend to purchase these amplifiers, pending the availability, from my Canadian distributor. So I need to know where the delay is, at JL's end or at my distributors end. To me it sounds like a issue at the JL end. If I cannot get these amps here in the next week, I need to go with something entirely different.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

What about an Orion amp?I believe all of their amps last year were chrome. I'm sure you can still find lots of them though. This Orion 8004 seems comparable to the 450/4 with power rating, atleast.

I love chrome.   Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Some of the older soundstreams are chrome. Some of the new ones also. But the older 10.0 would be awsome if you can find them.

Just install a good Eclipse amp but wrap it in aluminum foil.Support the12volt.com

Ok, whoever said Alphatoaster gets a smack. I have thought about going to the Eclipse amps and having them chrome plated, yet my distributor is not getting back to me on availability (see my other thread). It is looking like 3 Zapco competition amps at this time, built custom at the factory. Should be about 2-3weeks until we see them. On the other hand we did receive the first of the Focal quad coil 18's today. We had 3 customers slip coming in the door because of all the drool on the floor.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
